菲利宾太阳城娱乐网站: Coming Home: Mandela Trilogy

“Nelson Mandela’s remarkable life story has been told many times, but never like this.”The Guardian, UK

From traditional Xhosa choral music, to jazz and jive dancing of the 1950s township dance halls; from struggle songs of the 1980s, to the liberation music of the 1990s, Mandela Trilogy celebrates the vibrant variety of South African music while dramatising the defining moments that shaped Nelson Mandela’s life.

Since its premiere at the Artscape in 2010, Mandela Trilogy has travelled from Africa to Europe to Asia, wowing audiences across nations, cultures and ages. Now it is heading home in triumph to celebrate Mandela’s centenary on 17 & 18 July.

CTO Associate Music Director Tim Murray returns to lead the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra through van Dijk and Campbell’s rousing score, which he has conducted to great acclaim in cities from London to Dubai, Ravenna to Hong Kong.
